Thus, a simple and-extremely durable structure is effected, and, by reason of the peculiar configuration of the said rib and its disposition upon the bracket,

the parts are enabled to withstand strains to which they are usually subjected.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure, by Lettors Patcnt,'is:-- v

1. A bracket for attaching a harrow to a plow frame comprising a standard having a relatively long intermediate portion, and a relatively short endportion, the long di mension of which is at a right angle to the long dimension of the intermediate portion, and a relatively enlarged portion located at the opposite end of the'said intermediate portion from the end with which the said transversely disposed portion is connected, said end portionfthe longer dimension of which is at a right angle to the long dimension of the intermediate portion, having at its edges perforated lugs, and being provided at its end ortions with elongated slots, said standard having upon one face a rib which extends along the Ion 'tudinal mcdian' dimension of the intermediate portion and the same dimension of the enlarged endportion, and which is divided at the opposite end portion into branches, which branches are provided at their extremities with loops which encircle and form portions ot,the edges of the said elongated slots.

2. A standard for connecting a harrow attachment with a plow frame having a relatively long intermediate portion with a relatively enlarged portion at one end there at, and. airelatively short portion at the opposite end thereof, the long dimension of which is at a right angle to the long dimension of the intermediate portion, said relatively short portion at one end of the intermediate portion havin at its opposite edges perforated lugs, a rib located upon one side of the standard and having its long dimension extending along the long median dimension of the intermediate portion and along the similar dimension of the enlarged portion of the standard, said rib at its point of entrance upon the relatively short portion being divided into branches, said. relatively short portion having at its opposite end portions elongated-slots, the ends of which are located upon opposite sides of lines drawn through the centers of the perforations of the said lugs carried by the relatively short portion, the divided extremities of the said ribs having at their ends loops which surround the said elongated slots and form portions of theside walls thereof.

Intestimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
